PC13-159Resolution No. PC 13-159 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MENIFEE APPROVING MINOR CHANGE 2013-168 TO APPROVED TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 30422 FOR THE SUBDIVISION OF 399 ACRES EAST OF MENIFEE ROAD AND SOUTH OF NEWPORT ROAD Whereas, on August 22, 2013, CV Communities applied to the City of Menifee for the approval of a minor change to an approved tentative tract map (TR30422) which consisted of a subdivision of 399 acres into 992 total single-family lots; and Whereas, the minor change would decrease the total number of single-family lots within TR30422 as originally approved from 992 single-family lots to 971 single- family lots. More specifically the lot reduction will occur in TR30422-3 (273 single-family lots as originally approved to 252 single-family lots as modified); and Whereas, on December 10, 2013, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the minor change, considered all public testimony as well as all materials in the staff report and accompanying documents for Minor Change No. 2013- 168, which hearing was publicly noticed by a publication in the newspaper of general circulation, an agenda posting, and notice to property owners within 300 feet of the project boundaries, and to persons requesting public notice; and Whereas, at the December 10, 2013 Planning Commission public hearing, the Commission found that: Consistency with the General Plan. The minor change is consistent with the General Plan Land Use Map and applicable General Plan objectives, policies, and programs. The General Plan land use of the site is a mix of Medium Density Residential (MDR) primarily with Medium High Density Residential (MHDR), Very High Density Residential (VHDR), and Commercial Retail (CR). The proposed project meets the requirements of the Medium Density Residential (MDR) primarily with Medium High Density Residential (MHDR), Very High Density Residential (VHDR), and Commercial Retail (CR) land use designations. Surrounding General Plan Land Use designations include Medium Density Residential (MDR) to the north, east, south, and west, Commercial Retail (CR) to the north and west, Low Density Residential (LDR) to the west, Open Space — Recreation to the east and west, and Agriculture (AG) to the east. These land use designations are generally compatible with those proposed for the site as previously approved under Specific Plan 247 and TR30422. The future proposed General Plan land use designation for the property is Specific Plan. The intent of this land use designation is to recognize areas where an existing specific plan is in place and to provide policies, standards and criteria for the development or redevelopment of these areas. The project is consistent with the existing General Plan land use and there is a reasonable possibility that the project will be consistent with the future General Plan and therefore, shall not interfere with the future adopted General Plan, including a Housing Element that is consistent with State Housing Element law. Resolution No PC 13-159 Minor Change No. 2013-168 to TR30422 The City of Menifee has two active conservation plans within the City's boundary; the Western Riverside County MSHCP and the Stephens' Kangaroo Rat Habitat Conservation Plan (SKR-HCP). The subject site is within the jurisdiction of the SKR-HCP and the Western Riverside County MSHCP. The project site is located inside the Stephen's Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys stephenst) (SKR) Fee Area. The proposed project is located within the boundaries of the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan; however, the project is not located with a Criteria Cell or Cell Group. The project will be subject to the payment of fees for a residential project consistent with Riverside County Ordinance 810.2 as adopted by the City of Menifee. Therefore, the project will not conflict with the provisions of the adopted HCP, Natural Conservation Community Plan, or other approved local, regional, or State conservation plan and the impact is considered less than significant. 2. Consistency with the Zoning Code. The project is zoned Specific Plan (SP 247, Menifee East). The project is consistent with the existing zoning and applicable development standards. Surrounding zoning includes Specific Plan (SP 158, Menifee Villages) to the north and west, One -Family Dwelling (R-1) to the south and west, Planned Residential (R-4) to the north and south, Heavy Agriculture 10-acre minimum (A- 2-10) to the east, and Rural Residential (R-R) to the east. These zoning classifications are compatible with the uses proposed for the site as previously approved by the current Specific Plan and TR30422. 3. Consistency with Ordinance 460 Regulating the Division of Land. The overall tentative tract map is a Schedule "A" subdivision of 399 acres. A Schedule "A" tract map is defined as Any division of land into 5 or more parcels, where any parcel is less than 18,000 square feet in net area. The subdivision has been reviewed and conditioned for consistency with the requirements for streets, domestic water, fire protection, sewage disposal, fences, and electrical communication facilities. The subdivision and current minor change are consistent with the Schedule "A" map requirements of Ordinance 460. 4. Surrounding Uses. Approval of the application will not create conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare or injurious to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the project vicinity. Surrounding land uses include single-family residential uses to the north, east, south, and west, agricultural and recreational uses to the east, elementary school to the west, and vacant land to the north, east, and south. The proposed project as originally approved under Specific Plan 247 and TR30422 is compatible with the surrounding land uses, General Plan land use designations and zoning classifications. Environmental impacts resulting from the project have been analyzed in a previously adopted EIR for the original Specific Plan 247 and Addendum to the EIR for the subsequent Specific Plan Amendment and TR30422. The proposed Minor Change would decrease the total number of single-family lots and the Specific Plan Substantial Conformance would expedite the construction of a park. Therefore, the project is not anticipated to create conditions materially detrimental to the public health, safety Resolution No PC 13-159 Minor Change No. 2013-168 to TR30422 and general welfare or injurious to or incompatible with other properties or land uses in the project vicinity. 5. Compliance with CEQA. No Further Environmental Documentation Required. All impacts related to the minor change were analyzed in an Environmental Impact Report (SCH 1989071715) prepared for the original Specific Plan 247 and an Addendum (EA 38703) prepared for an Amendment to the Specific Plan and TR30422, which was adopted by the County of Riverside Board of Supervisors. No new environmental impacts have been identified. No further environmental review is required. The previously prepared EIR and Addendum are still accurate and applicable for this approval. Now, therefore, the Planning Commission of the City of Menifee resolves and orders as follows: Section 1. The Findings set out above are true and correct. Section 2. Minor Change No. 2013-168, is approved subject to the Conditions of Approval as set forth in Exhibit "1" to this Resolution as modifications to existing conditions of TR30422 and as approved by the Planning Commission on December 10, 2013.
